Chapter 14

"Uncle She Mao, your martial soul is also a tool-type martial soul, and you have a deeper understanding of tool-type martial souls; you can guide Ye Feng in the future."

"His martial soul is not bad, and it doesn't disgrace you; now arrange for your Soul Saint subordinates to take Ye Feng to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for his first soul ring."

"She Mao Douluo's real name is She Long; he is currently a 91st-ranked Title Douluo, the same age as the Porcupine Douluo, both now sixty years old. Just after breaking through to the Title Douluo realm, Qian Daoliu sent him to report to Qian Renxue. His martial soul is the Serpent Spear."

"Yes! I don't know if the young master needs me to arrange for someone to bring back a light-attributed ten-thousand-year soul beast?" She Mao Douluo asked hesitantly.

"She Mao wondered why Qian Renxue had not yet hunted for a soul ring; as her direct descendant, he naturally knew the effect of whale glue. He had thought Qian Renxue planned to absorb a thousand-year first ring, but the young master's physique is now comparable to a Soul King, capable of absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring! Just thinking that Qian Renxue's first soul ring would be a ten-thousand-year one made his whole body tremble with excitement."

"This increase in years is not from the Angel God's trial; it is genuinely from absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring himself. When the young master later opens the divine trial, his soul rings will be splendid indeed!"

"But the young master has not yet hunted for a soul ring, which inevitably makes him worry that Qian Renxue is fixated on raising the year of her first soul ring, affecting her future soul power cultivation."

"Qian Renxue waved her hand, saying, 'I have this under control. In half a year I will go obtain the soul ring. At that time, you, the Porcupine, and the seven elders of the Offering Hall will accompany me, and you will understand then.'"

"Qian Renxue had no intention of hiding her plan; she wouldn't act timid just to pretend in front of a transmigrator. She had decided on a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and even the Asura God couldn't stop her! As for whether Ye Feng would doubt her, does it matter? She didn't care—she is a woman in this life, and to transmigrators, a beautiful girl is quite fragrant. Losing would merely mean being taken home by a transmigrator as a wife. In the face of transmigrators, a beautiful girl has a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card. In the novels she read in her past life, no matter what crazy things Bibi Dong did, transmigrators would still eagerly lick her."

"Looks are justice; in this peaceful era, someone truly decisive in combat would truly earn Qian Renxue's respect."

"After all, Ye Feng is merely a stray pawn caused by accident; the hundred-thousand-year soul ring is her true goal! She Mao's pupils contracted; with so many Title Douluo present, he dared not ask further, quickly bowing and accepting the order: 'Yes.'"

"Leaving the Porcupine alone to secretly excite nearby, She Mao grabbed Ye Feng's collar and left; his inner unrest made his actions a bit rough."

"'Ow, uncle, can you be gentler? You're too rough!' Ye Feng complained in anger; he could not resist the strength of a Title Douluo."

"However, Ye Feng's inner state was not calm either. What situation is this? Qian Renxue is already a Soul King? She shouldn't be just over eight years old, should she?"

"An eight-year-old Soul King! What concept is that? How could she be this strong? Why was she only a Soul Saint at twenty-nine? Did Qian Renxue not cultivate at all for twenty years after going to the Heavenly Battle Empire at age nine?"

"In two years she rose thirty levels—good heavens, how is this possible? Is an innate twentieth level really that heaven-defying? And Qian Renxue's entourage—once they set out, there are nine Title Douluo. My goodness, this rich lady's thigh must be clung to! 'Little thing, you're insolent.' However, She Mao Douluo wasn't angry; his mood was excellent, beyond words."

"Watching She Mao lead Ye Feng away, Qian Renxue turned to the Porcupine and said, 'After Ye Feng returns from hunting for a soul, during this half-year I will entrust his supervision to you. I originally wanted to assign this to Elder Gui, but Elder Gui still needs to search for the tracks of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Uncle Porcupine, your thoughts are meticulous; you should also be able to see Ye Feng's extraordinariness. Entrusting this to you puts me most at ease.' Indeed! Indeed! The Porcupine blushed and replied, 'Young master, rest assured, I will give my all!' Since the seven elders of the Offering Hall all support this, it shows they truly believe the young master can absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, perhaps due to the Qian family's secret art—after all, the Qian family is the earthly representative of the Angel God."

"A hundred-thousand-year soul ring—Uncle Porcupine only felt as if he were dreaming, his feet feeling light."

"Furthermore, in one day you, She Mao, and I will go to the Sunset Forest; I want to find a treasure land that will greatly benefit my cultivation."

"Originally Qian Renxue wasn't in a hurry to obtain the immortal herbs, but now that transmigrators have appeared, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells must be put on the agenda. Who knows how many transmigrators there are; delaying could let someone else snatch them first, which would truly be unbearable."

"Moreover, to use this martial soul evolution pill in her hand, she must first obtain the immortal herbs. This pill can be used only once per martial soul, capable of evolving any rank. Given this mechanism, she certainly must first use the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells to enhance her martial soul's quality; if lucky, the Six-Winged Angel might even undergo two transformations!"

"Yes! I'll notify him when Lao Matou returns."

"'Mm, go.' Qian Renxue had the Porcupine pack and prepare, while she herself would first return to the Offering Hall to report to Qian Daoliu."

"Compared to the Sunset Forest, the Star Dou Great Forest differs not only in area but in many other ways. The Star Dou Great Forest is located in the central region of the Soul Master Continent and is the largest soul beast forest in that central region."

"It also lies within the tropical zone, with most of the forest consisting of tropical plants."

"The Sunset Forest lies in the central Heavenly Battle Empire; although it is not quite subarctic, its temperature is much lower than that of the Star Dou Great Forest, causing the vegetation here to be mostly temperate plants typical of the north."

"Tropical plants give a feeling of being denser and more humid, while temperate plants feel somewhat cooler but lack that density. Therefore, moving through the forest, the Sunset Forest is much easier than the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Of course, powerful soul beasts generally still prefer the tropical rainforest of the Star Dou Great Forest. Thus, while the Sunset Forest also has many soul beasts, few reach ten thousand years or more; most linger between a thousand and ten thousand years. Moreover, soul hunters' indiscriminate slaughter has generally lowered the beasts' quality. Now, to hunt a suitable soul beast, one needs not only strength but also patience."

"Qian Renxue actually didn't know where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells were located; did the original novel even specify? When she read the story, she hadn't paid close attention at all—just a casual glance. Who could remember such a thing? This isn't a thesis requiring word-for-word study."

"Hehe, off to get the immortal herbs—time to start speeding up!"
